I know we have been doing things backwards. It is best to do the ceiling first before adding everything else in. But you know, when you are doing things as you go, on a budget and dont feel like tearing everything out, this is what you get.
While the ceiling above the bed was finished first, the ceiling in the midsection of the van has been still quite raw. When we built the van, the bed went in first. We travelled down to Spain and experienced some cold nights in France. Condensation dripped down from above onto our faces in the middle of the night. So needless to say, insulating the ceiling above us was a giant priority.
This area is being simplified because I'm going to build a 12volt center near the kitchen. I continue to like the solar controller there because I like watching it. I can turn off the power out from it. It is a 30 amp system, so it can handle the little red power inverter. 30amps X 12 volts = 360 watts. It is a 500 max watt inverter which is supposed to only use 400 continuous. I only use it for recharging laptops and other low-draw items. It is also used to recharge phones. The four USB bank is nice.
So now we have two more cork panels installed and a small shelf where we can put a few items.
